Persisted I'm n Balloon.
AN AIR-SHIP COMES TO EARTH WITH THE REMAIN
AERONAUT

An AIH-SHIF REMAINS
OF AN AERONAUT.
The citizens OF Owensboro, KY, observed an
immense balloon sailing over that city at great
height Saturday night. 1t was within view for
long while, but when last seen 1T appeared to be
rapidly descending. Parties went in search of it
on Sunday, and during the afternoon it was found
in an old swamp about ten miles south of Haines-
Vile. The searching party were Mortified at the
discovery Of the emaciated remains OF a man who
had been evidently empt1ed from the basket several
yards from where the a1r-ship had fallen. 1t is
the theory that the aerOnaut was already dead be-
fore the balloon reached the earth, as no serious
bruises were found upon his body. No papers or
other evidences have been found to indicate who
the man can be. 1t is supposed that he lost con-
troll of the air-ship which ascend to a great al
titude, and that he met death from want Of food
and extreme cold

ChicagO's Big Convention Building.
IT MAY NOT BE READY JUNE 10, 1883.

New York World special from Chicago, De-
cember IL, says: There is a big fight brewing
among the stockholders OF the new Auditorium
Building which Is DeiLg built for the national con-
ventions IL Is possible that the trouble may take
such shape that the finishing OF the building may
be delayed beyond the date OF the republican con-
vention- When the building was first planned the
cost was estimated at 81 200 900. Now that IL Is
about half done the discovery is made by some OF
the stockholders that the cost will be more than
2OOO,OOO. and they are protesting very vigorously
against the increase 1t is said that the quarrel is
likely to get into the courts, since one or two CT
the stockholders are determined that there shall
be no change in the plans, and the others just
as determined that the work shall not cost more
than at first estimated.

whatever 10 him. Henry c. Putnam, OF Eau Claire
who Is referred TO In the same dispatch, bought
California redwood lands In 1883 at the time
that Jos V1leS bought. Mr. Putnam said last night
"The whole statement OF the Times Is untrue. My

He doesn't even know that either OF owns any

that Colonel Villas and himself were old friends:
that he had such letter from Colonel Villas TO

granted the redwood purchasers the request W hich
